msinfo32.exe not displaying the information on the system
msinfo32.exe opens on the home page help & support instead of displaying the information on the system. The files are there and I did not happen on my 2 other PCs equipped with XP Pro SP3. A virus could do this but the scans are negative. My research on Google has produced nothing.
There are three keys in the BDR:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Shared Tools (OK)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Shared Tools \ MSInfo (OK) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion
under the key \ App Paths \ msinfo32.exe no.
and C: \ Windows \ PCHealth \ helppctr \ OfflineCache is empty.
Can anyone know whats the problem ?
Thanks

Re: msinfo32.exe not displaying the information on the system
If the previous tracks did not work, try the following relocation by testing between each stage:
1. Reregister of msinfo.dll: by Start / Run ... enter regsvr32 "C: \ WINDOWS \ PCHealth \ HelpCtr \ Binaries \ msinfo.dll"
Note: Change if needed the drive letter and respect quotes.
2. Reinstall msinfo32: In Windows Explorer, right click on the file WINDOWS \ inf \ msinfo32.inf and choose Install. Expect the CD to install XP.
3. Restore the functionality of the Help and Support: Use the script fixwinxp_aide_support.vbs (guaranteed no virus say whatever anti-virus).
4. Correct the effects of a registry cleaner: If the problem occurs after cleaning the registry, restoring the keys and values using the backup when cleaning or using a restore point to return to the configuration prior to cleaning.
